The point of this particular thread was about a “back up” QB. In your reply, you typed “sit behind Goff for a year”.
A “back up” is someone ready to step in if Goff goes down. If Richardson has to start for ANY team this year, they are going to lose those games. Richardson is your #3 QB for teams in the NFL. The exception being teams that feature their QB as a primary runner. Chicago would be a possible landing spot for Richardson in the 2nd round (2nd round is where I expect Richardson to go). I could even see Baltimore drafting him at 22 if Lamar ends up playing on his tag.
Almost certain you will see us take a QB inside the first 3 rounds. Honestly Hooker makes the most sense as we all know Brad is not afraid to take a risk on players coming off ACL tears as long as the value is there.
Had he not gotten hurt he would of been a lock inside the top 20 of the draft if not higher and that’s WITH the age. He has a strong arm, very accurate, doesn’t turn the ball over and is mobile.
The only knock on him is his age which is not the end of the world in todays day and age and how QB’s are protected. He is probably the QB with the least amount of question marks in this draft class.
I believe Moseley would love a shot as a backup QB but obviously he would have to beat out Fox. I’m all for using a 6th round pick on a QB. The fact is to run training camp you really need 4 QB’s. Deep class of tier 2 QB’s, they’ll get er done.
We could see something like that. The thing is, if were going to compete for the division or we expect to make a deep playoff push, a backup becomes more important. Maybe Wolford is good enough? I think they need something better than Blough and Co. They need the next step up. If they go QB in the first, or second, maybe the calculus changes, but I would bet they’ll put another vet in that rookie’s ear besides for Goff.
Titans, colts in a trade down, raiders, packers, jets… i could keep going. To get hooker with the extra yr might be a long game play for any team without a young top qb.
